Cinnaminson, New Jersey, June 29, 2023

EMSL Analytical, Inc., is addressing growing concerns about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food by offering advanced testing solutions to identify and quantify some of these significant harmful compounds. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals widely used in various industrial applications and consumer products, known for their persistence in the environment and potential adverse health effects.

PFAS contamination in food has become a significant public health concern, as these chemicals could accumulate in the food chain. From manufacturing processes to packaging materials, PFAS can find their way into our meals, presenting a potential risk to human health. Recent studies have shown that exposure to PFAS may lead to adverse effects on the immune system, hormone regulation, and other vital functions.
